Mathematics and the Nigerian dream: From disillusionment to empowerment

 As Nigeria marks her 65th Independence Anniversary in 2025, the mood across the nation is not one of triumph but of tension. For many young Nigerians, this milestone is less about celebrating progress and more about confronting the bitter truth of unfulfilled promises. From underfunded schools in rural villages to urban centers where survival requires daily hustling, the same question echoes: What does the Nigerian Dream look like today? For too many, the Nigerian Dream seems invisible — if it exists at all.

The Nigerian Dream cannot be borrowed from foreign models of white-picket fences or suburban comfort. For us, it must mean a life of dignity, opportunity, and contribution where citizens have a chance to earn a decent living through honest work, have access to education and skills that unlock potential, enjoy freedom from fear, hunger, and systemic neglect, and possess the ability to build, create, and leave a legacy.
